Dakar 2018

I know it's a bit soon to start a thread about it but since I've seen this piece of news: http://www.autosport.com/news/report...f-rules-change
I've decided to open the subject, basically they (Peugeot) say that if the WSMC will ratify change to the regulations for the World Cup for Cross Country Rallies and the Dakar organiser ASO will follow suit in handicapping two-wheel-drive buggy-style vehicles such as Peugeot's 3008 DKR, then Peugeot will leave.
Any thoughts anyone?

if somebody is interested Tatra-Buggyra has nice videos on the youtube, sadly the interviews are only in Czech. You can see for example in the video from 10th leg how to be 2nd in the day with only three wheels on the truck Generally kolomý praises the stages a lot. He also said he would have to take insane risk to be in the fight for victory with all the Kamaz crews. Currently he is third overall and the only non-Kamaz driver in the battle. It's his first start in Silk Way.

By the way both co-drivers of Kolomý are very experienced co-drivers from classic rallies. You may know Michal Ernst for example from his starts with Prokop or Semerád in WRC. Jiří Stross is normally co-driving Pospíšilík, in the past Dunovský and other Czech drivers.

Stage 12 in the dunes- Silkway Rally. (Is there a team route checking before the rally goes through?) This rally looks more like the old African Dakar rally than the current Dakar Rally.https://youtu.be/BSGNjyehcws

Toro Rosso is only RBR's guinea pig so I don't think they worry too much about constructors. Kvyat has had some bad luck and hasn't performed so makes sense that he wold be replaced. I think Kvyat's...
